Amy Goodman speaks about her arrest

This video is a few weeks old, but I just stumbled across it today. Amy Goodman of Democracy Now, who was arrested along with several other journalists at the RNC in St. Paul, talks about her experience and the state of free speech and free press in American with PBS's NOW.

I was amazed by the response a few weeks ago from some SF readers that the behavior of the St. Paul police was perfectly acceptable.

Last Friday the charges against the arrested journalists were dropped by the St. Paul City Attorney.
